Need info on accuracy of weapons

[BadKarma84]

The only problem i have is with the AM Distortion Blaster. I fly R60 tank so i have no aim computer.
I've noticed that the accuracy dropped significant about 2 weeks ago. When grinding it was normal to miss 1 or 2 shots on a harvester but now i'm missing 4 and sometimes 5 shots in a row.... Same goes with
Interceptors and other Mantis and it happens a lot! When using other ships i have no problem at all....

U might consider some glasses?? Or less beer ??

Thank you for kicking Defcon's behind Adrana!
I know Defcon in real life so i know who's talking!
I'll sort it out with a little PvP! (if he dares to anyway!)

Thnx!

Hello Adrana,

I probably risk getting yelled at again by answering here, but anyway, i am sorry i made a joke in this serious thread. It was not my intention to insult anybody. Furthermore i know badkarma in real life. As a matter of fact i introduced him to this game. And we are good friends.

On Topic remark. Yes, i miss a lot of shots and so does almost everybody i have been playing with in missions as long as i can remember. And i am mostly on a TS channel when doin missions together. So players talke about it and u see it happen.

I was always under the impression that it was meant to miss. Why else would there be an Aimcomputer BP?

Bye,

Defcon

Defcon, we have no such knowledge of any players real life friendship or other, so please when you do joke, do it with good taste and you can add in the end like eg. (Joke with a real friend) or such, just keep in mind joking within the rules.

I cannot pm to every user at forum who jokes with an rl friend asking if they are real friends and if it's a joke or insult to other user, I believe you can understand my point of view on this, I hope.

get closer?

aggrobomb has been fixed now though....I think

maybe youre just unlucky

 

[jojost1]

im as close as i can be at inters

 

[AwesomeFightingAce]

I can't hit much with my FF agb! WHAT IS THE PROBLEM??

it depends on your position relative to the interceptors. For aggrobomb to work at its best, you need to have the interceptors "surround" you. Just move in circles and rep yourself until they're surrounding, then WHAM!

It works with me ^^

Have problem with my Sniper ship i did miss like 7 shoots on a signor that must be mad and it did happend many times to and i am getting angry that my another ships is better then my sniper so can you guys see if it is anything wrong with my ship?

the Sol System is known to lag.

 

[jojost1]

It works with me ^^

Lets see if it works with me too

 

[Maniac66]

Accuracy in Anteras system seems off. While in an attack situation, I am having up to 7 misses at a time. I didn't have my aim computer on, so is this normal. I have also had the same problem on the gemini system, but there i am missing up to 4 times.

thanks

[Ventnor]

no hit , no hit, no hit, no hit, smash the keyboard then a rank 15 comes and 1 hit kill the lvl4 sentinel for me................................GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[TwistedMetal]

iv moved house 3 weeks ago and changed my computer and i still miss loads. i buy my energy and im loosing a 3rd of it to missed shots. it doesnt bother me so much against mantis but in pvp its a pain cos it makes me loose all i get is miss miss miss miss and thats againts any player/mantis not just ones with aim scrambler

 

[Lzurha]

ya dude i hear ya every one keeps telling me its normal but i lose about 2/4 of my energy to misses

 

[Delloda]

Don't just post saying you have the same [problem.. gimme more details! Read back to find out what details i want.

 

[ahrido]

Delloda, I posted in the begin all my details.
But I think its not about the Internet Provider.

In weekends when I'm home I use Belgacom skynet and in weekdays when I'm at Univ I use the provider that's connected with my Univ, Telenet Belgium.

These 2 are the largest phone and INternet companies in Belgium and I encouter on both the current problems.

cheers,

Darkar

ok, this is kind-of on topic; I seem to be missing the last shot on things a fair bit. Idk if this is a diffrerent problem, but every time something is on low enough health that i could shoot 1 more time and kill it, I miss . Anyone else having this problem? It happens about 40-50% of the time....

Connection type:
PSTN aDSL: 2Mbit Download/ 512Kbit upload (around 600 meters away from the dslam)

Also tested on
ISDN aDSL: 2Mbit download/ 512KBit upload (this was i think the worst kind of connection since here the connection is 5.5 kilometers away from the DSlam. frequent disconnects yet still results were similar if not better to the above. Also and i am quoting a Greek techie i should expect the connection to go down when it rains )

The past 2 weeks i have been firing at lvl 53 Imperial signors (i am 62 rank atm and looking for a sniper ship to no avail). On average i miss 1 shot out of 5 (obviously the 1 missed cannot be the last one). 1/3 of them, the missed shot is the 1st one. the rest 2/3 there is no specific pattern on which shot misses the most.

13 times i missed 5 times in a row. out of those 13 times 2 times i critical shotted the signor 2 times in a row and killed it.

Once i missed 7 times in a row and continued to shoot at it for the hell of it. the rest of the DS came down but i wanted to see (after the 1st 5) how long it would take for the kill. it took me (another)2 missed shots and 5 hits.

the last 2 days i am getting something even more weird. even though an imperial signor lvl 53 is at most 4 hits for a rank 62 TANK with sol rare blaster, there are times where i need to fire 5 shots at it to shoot it down. When situations like this arise i miss 2 shots in the seven it takes me to down an imperial signor.

Over here i would like to point out that i wait at the LZ of the signor after i have killed its DS ressurector and the signor it self. When the signor spawns again i select it by mouse and attack.

I have not seen changes (in hit or miss) between right selecting and left selecting.

There are other enemies there as well. Pyros custodian commanders and snipers.

Snipers on average take 3 shots to die (1 missed 2 hits).

Pyros are the same (1 miss 2 hits)

Custodian commanders on average i miss 2 shots against them. if the manage to put a shield on then the average goes to 4.

I hope this helps a bit on data gathering. I have to note that all of the above were tested on both internet connections. In the case of the ISDN line i hardly missed more than once, even though i never ever could do a kill with no missed shots.

Edit START
I forgot to add that on both i have used cta5 Ethernet cables. I do not use wireless of any kind. Please add if u need the models of the routers i have been using
Edit END

Um... This isn't about blasters, but my protect for my gemini engineer takes a LOT longer to load than anything else.

it will do cos thats the way its ment to be. we are talking about blaster accuracy not cool down or warm up times
